The journal 19 and feedwheel 20 are pierced with a cylindrical hole 21 whose axis coincides with the axis of the journal and wheel, forming a hbllow mandrel or portion of a divided hollow shaft, to which is fitted the rod 22. .See Figs; 1, 2, 3 and 9. On one side ofeach feed-wheel 20, 20 is formed a semi-cylindrical hub 28, 23 and an inclined face 24.-, 2115. The face of the Wheel is formed of a suitable yielding portion 25. See Figs. 8 and 5). 100

The journal 19 of the .feed/wheel 2O is extended to receive the operating crank 26,

and the journal 19 of the feed-wheel 2U is extended to receive the eccentric 27 and;

crank 28. See Figs. 1 and 9. The rod "or, 10h LA n locking core 22 is formed with a knob or handle 29 at one end and is provided wlthpsf a recessedportion 30 at the opposite end, see Figs. 1, 3 and f1. To the rod is fitted the type-cylinder 31, which is preferably* u@ 3 p formed with a cylindrical body 32, having endpiece 33 and end-disk 84. The three parts are shown in the dranf'ing as formed separately and held together by the screws 35. rlhe end-piece 33 is formed with the recess 36 and the semi-cylindrical hub S7, and is furnished with the bushing 38. The end-disk 34 is furnished With the bushing 39 formed with a retaining shoulder 40. On the bushing' 40 is rotatably mounted the end-piece 41 formed with the recess 42, similar to the recess 36, the semi-cylindrical hub 43, the channel, 44, cut through the rim coinmunicating with the recess 42, and the hole 45 formed to -hold the pin 46. lSecured to t the cylindrical body 32 by the screws 47,

48 is the head-piece 49, formed with the rabbet 49 and holding in the threaded holes 50 the tightening-screws 51. The hole 52, i'n the end of the head-piece 49, is formed to receive the end of the pin 46.

The type 53 are formed With a type-body whose essential feature is a portion adapted to engage the retaining-bars 54. i In the drawings the body is shown in its preferred form with a radial face 55, an inclined `face 56 and a projecting portion 57. See Figs. 6 and 7. ln Fig, 6, placed against the front face of the head-piece 49, is .shown a type having a projecting portion. adapted to tit the rabbct 49. lt desired this projection could be formed ofi all the type, and would be required on the corresponding' face of a large block of type, or an illustration, to

- hold it to the type cylinder. i

The retaining-bars 54 are formed with recesscd ends leaving the projecting portions 58 and 59, as shown in Fig.` 12. The projecting` portions 58 and 59 are fitted to the recesses 36 and 42.v Thel channel is formed of a Width suilicient to admit the passage o'f the portion 59.

The operating crank 26, secured to the eX- tension of the journal 19, is provided with a lever 60 ulcrumed on the scrcvt7 61 and formed with an end 62 adapted to reach through' the slot 63 in the hub of the crank and journal extension and engage With the recess 30 in the rod 22. The lever 60 is also provided With a thumb-piece 64 and a spring 65, as shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 10.

The threaded holes 8, 8 are adapted to hold the screws 66, 66 which are fitted to holes in the rock-frame'67. l The rock-frame 67, formed as indicated is provided with holes 68, 68', to which are fitted the ournals 69, 69 the inking roller 70. Secured to the raised portions 5, 5 by the screws 71, 71 are the leaf-springs 72, 72 which bear against the formed ends 78, of the rockirame 67. See Figs. 1 and 2. l

To the hole 9 is itted the screw 74 'upon which is mounted the formed arml75, ,one

end of which is adapted to press `upon and be controlled by the cam 27. Slee Figs. 1

and 2. The outward movement of the arm 75 is limited by the pin 76 coming in engagement ywith the 'projection 77, as shown 1n Fig. 2. The cam 27, formed to push, or hold, the arm 75 away from the axis oi rotation of the cam during the greater portion of the revolution and to allow it quickly to approach the axis at a predetermined point of revolution, is, With the crank 28, rigidly fixed to the extension of the journal 19. In the crank 28 is Xed the pin 78 which enters the hole 79 of the pitman 80. The pitman 80 is held upon the pin by the retaining screw 81. See Figs. 2 and 9. The pitman 80 is the two portions being heldy together by the helical springr 83 which has one end attached to the eye 84 in the pitman 80 and the other end attached to the eye 85 in the head 86 of the sleeve V82. On the sleeve 82 is formed the strike-piece 87 which engages with the arm 75. The head 86 is formed to connect, by means of the pin'88, With the piston-rod 89 o1c thepump 90, Whose cylindrical sides serve as a barrel and Whose ends 91 and 92 are made to facilitate the egress of air fromA the barrel and to obstruct 4its entrance to the barrel. This is accomplished in the end 91 by forming the gland 93 of a suitable flexible vmaterial and holding its larger circumierenceto place by the disk 94 andv nut 95,

and in the end 92, by piercing the end With holes 96, 96 and covering them with the Y flap valves 97, 97', which are held Ato place .by passing the strip forming the valves through the Islot 98 in the stem 99. The stem 99 connects the end 92 With the -hold-v ing-sleeve 100. The holding sleeve 100, provided With the arm 101 in which is fitted the roller 102, is fitted to the` post 103, which is secured tothe table 104. The piston-rod 89, ,y

formed asia tube' is furnished with a piston having-tivoA formed disks 105, 106 of a suitable fleXible material adapted to act as a piston packing; a disk 107, attached tothe piston rod: a sleeve 108, serving to separate the tWo formed disks and 196; and a retainy.

ing-screw 109. Holes 110, 111 passl through the sleeve 108 and the piston-rod 89 allow-y ing free communication .bet-Ween the space 112 and theibore of the piston-rod. The

ypiston-rod 89 is 'formed with the communieating hollow arm 113 which terminates in a suction-plate 114. See Figs. 1, 2 and 1 1. v

To the raised portions 6,6, is secured` the curved platef115. See Figs. 1 and2.

The bed 1 `is shown `mounted on a chesty yare secured the guide-plates andv 121 and 1 nel to the tcp of the chest ot drawers .11G is secured the guide-plate is :ee Figs. 1 and Wherelthe types do not ti ll the lines a spring quad formed '1"' thin zpring metal lient as indicated in l l1 and of -torni shown in 15:3 is ins `l. 'the last retainingl-ar i2-t is made h a\ ier than the others to distribute the piu sure of the tighteningscrews 51. and. for cmivci;ieace iu designating it, called iin,- pressureliar. It is shown in Fig. v(i and toi-med, with project eig portions similar to the projecting portions 5S and of the retaining-hars 5l and which are adapted to pass through the chan- Ie'rniove the rod 22 from the hollenT journals,

or inandrels, 19,19. Thetype cylinder may non' he liit'ed from place, after which the end of the pin may be removed from the hole and Vthe end-piece i11rotated unt-il the charmel s-l is in front of the heaCvpieee la. Set the. first line ot type against the 'tace ot' the head-piece, as shown in Fig, 6, ii.. iting a spring quad 1253, if necessary, to keep the type from moving endwise of the line. Place the projecting portion 58 of the retaining-bar 54. in the recess 3G of the endpieee 323, pass the projecting portion 59 thronglrthe channel 44 in the rim of the mal-piece t1 into 'the recess 12, move the oar until it rests against and holds the type lo place. Then set the succeeding lines ot type in a similar manner, rotating the endpiece 't1 so as to keep the channel 4st in advance of the lines of type. or solid blocks oftype are to be used secure them to the type cylinder by placing the projecting portions 55', which must be formed on any large blocks, in the rabbet L19, it they .arenext to the head-piece 49, or under a retaining bar 5t, and hold the tmivard edges with the retaining-bars in a manner similar to the types. When the last row of types has been placed upon the type cylinder the end-piece t1 is rotated until the hole registers with the hole 52 when the pin 46 is pushed into the hole 52 preventing rotation of the end-piece 41, then the pressure-bar 124C is pressed against the types bythe tightening-screws 51 pres'n-g theseveral lines ot' types togethenthus lockthe types securely in place and to the cylinder. It desired the type could be placed upon the cylinder without removing it from the machine. The type-eylinder is then 'press is now ready to print.

It illustrations,

placed in the machine with the end of the bushing 3S resting in the semi-cylindrical hub 23, and one end of the bushing resting in the semicylindrical hub 23, in such a manner that the semi-cylindrical hubs 37 and 43 rest upon the semi-cylindrical hubs 23 and 23 forming circular hubs. This centers, or alines, the cylinder, and the rod'22 may then be inserted in the hole 21, the

thumb-piece 04 of the le ver 6() depressed, the .end 62 raised, the rod 22 moved until the recess registers )Vith 'the slot 63. -Upon releasing thel thumb-piece the end G2 nieves into the recess 30 thus locking the rod and cylinder in place, The engagement of the semi-cylindrical hubs locks the type-cylinder to the feed wheels so'they must rotate as a unit. he rock-frame 67 is then rotated hack to its normal position,-When the leaf-spr 72, 72 bearing against the formed ends 73, hold the ink-roller against the type Jfaces so that upon rotation `of the type-cylinder the printing faces of the types receive a film of ink. To place the printing sheets in position, raise the holding sleeve 100 and with it the roller 102, the pump 90 and the suctionplate 114, removing the holding-sleeve 100 from the post 103 if necessary, and place on the table 101 the material to receive 'the impressions#usually sheets of paperin a pile having a side resting against the guido plate 121 and an end against the guide plate 120, then lower the holding-sleeve 100 on the post 103 until the roller 102 and the suctionplate 114 rests on the top of the pile. The

Upon turning the operating orank'20, it rota-tes the feed-wheels, 20, 20, the typecylinder 31, the cam 2T, and crank 28. The type-cylinder 31 rotates the inleroder 70; the feed-Wheels 20, 20 rotate the impressionI roller 17, the cam 27 bears against the end of the arm the crank 28 operates the pitraan which draws the piston-rod S9 andv suction-plate 114 toward the type-cylinder 31, this loosens the gland 93 permitting the air in that end of the pump90 t0 escape, closos the valves 97, 9T which raries the air in that end of the pump 90. The rarifyinfgr of the air in that portion of the pump ,9'0 which contains the end 92, causes the air'in the piston-rod Si) to pass through ,the holes 110, 111 contracting the outer circumference of the formed disk 105. The tendencyof the air to pass through the hole in the suction-plate 111 and piston-,rod 80 raises and holds the top sheet of paper to the suction-plate. As the piston is brought 'forward the sheet ot paper is carried with it. rihe curved plate 115 guarding the sheet from smearing on the type-cylinder. As the Y crank 20 continues to rotate, the strike-piece 87 is brought to hear against the arm 75, which checks the forward movement of the sleeve 82, piston 89 and suction-plate 114 be gripped by the roller 70 and the feed- Wheels 20, 20. At a predetermined point in its rotation, the cam 27 permits the arm 75 yto move toward the journal 19. vThe extended spring 83 contracts, moving the sleeve 82 forward. Thesleeve .carries for- Ward the piston-rod 89 and suction-plate 114. The suction-plate carries the sheetl for- Ward entering its forward edge between the roller and the feed-wheels 20, 20. Continued rotation of the crank 26 causes the sheet to be gripped by thefeed-Wheels andV carried through the machine. The iinpression roller 17 holding it against the feedwheels and the inked type-faces. After delivering the sheet 'to the roller and feedvvheels, the suction-plate 114: is moved backward by the sleeve 82 and pitman 80, this expands the Aformed disk 105; opens the valves 97, 97; contracts the formed disk 106 and gland 93; rarifies the air in the end 91.0f1 the pump 90; and causes the sheet to press against the suction-plate. After the sheet which is passing through the machine leaves lthe suction-plate, the next underlying sheet is drawn up and held against the suction-plate, and, if it has been moved forward by the preceding sheet, is now returned to its position against the guideplates 120 and Continued rotation of the crank 26 repeats the operations indefinitely. t 7 I The arm is formed so the strike-piece 87 will always be stopped at approximately the same distance from the point of tangency `of the impression roller 70 and feed- Wheels 20, 20,`\vhether the suction-plate be delivered the first, last, or any intermediate sheet of the pile.

The holder 126, show-ii `in Fig. 15 is' formed of `any thin inaterialifolded as indicated, and is for use in printing sheets that are narrower than they space between the feed-Wheels` It is used by inserting an edge.

of the sheet to receive the impression iii the fold 127 then passing the hblder 126, with the sheet thereon, 'between the impression roller and the type cylinder. The Width of the holder 126 yshould be suoli that the end 127 will pass under one feed-Wheel While the end 128 passes under the other feed-Wheel.

-lior purposes of Washing, or cleansing, and distributing the type, thetype-cylinder can beieinoved from the machine by 'removing lthe `rod 22, as previously explained. I havevshoivn the movable end-piece l1 as rotating to admit the holding bars, as the preferred forni,-but the projecting ends 59 could be admitted by sliding the movable end-piece along the bushing 39, which would require to be made enough longer to admit the movement. Wherethe operatorA has povvera'belt'or gear Wheel could bels'ubstituted forthe operating-crank 26. I If desired the automatic feed can be detached and the machine fed 'by hand.
